I am encountering problem with the battery level of Asus Zenfone 5. I keep on charging but the battery level goes down. It doesn't work. I think the battery is not functioning well. How can I solve this problem since the battery is non removable? Where can I buy it? or where do I go?

          WhyBoy, 12 Dec 2016Does anyone has the problem with Z5 that the phone got hot when using it?I am using it almost 1 and half years. The issue is battery can't use for long period as it will drain quickly such as surfing internet and facebook. Sometimes it tend to get overheat and hang. This is the issue. If can look other phone first

                Just if you've already updated to Lollipop, there's no way to root your device. Downgrade your Zenfone 5 to KitKat. Then root it.. Install a custom recovery like TWRP on it, then flash CyanogenMod 13.1 from XDA. You'll have the best battery life in Zenfone history. Now, my battery longs more than 20h with 3G. No any problems. CyanogenMod's camera has faster performance than ASUS PixelMaster Camera + AOSP experience.

                              I suggest you guys stick to the latest KitKat than Lollipop w/c they haven't fixed bugs like Network Drops, No Voice when calling, Battery Drain, etc. since they have already abandoned it. They didnt even bother installing 5.1.1 instead as final Lollipop version.

                              Overall don't bother buying Asus phones as their customer support and software assurance fails bigtime. Just look at how over priced their latest phones with crap socs.

                                Been using Z5 for almost 3 years until it recently got bricked for some reason

                                The performance is considerably good and stayed snappy and responsive for a quite long time
                                The camera is decent, but the built-in camera software is awesome
                                My main complaint is the battery life which only gives me 3 hours of extensive use, and goddamn that speaker is barely audible even in max volume! Goodluck trying to play a song while hanging out with a friend
